वो दिल ही क्या तिरे मिलने की जो दुआ न करे। Wo Dil Hi Kya Tere Milne Ki Jo Dua Na Kare - Qateel Shifai This is ' Qateel Shifai ' love ghazal where he is praying to die than to live in separation. In all stanzas he is demanding death or destruction or something like that for not getting love. The famous ' Sher ' from this ghazal ' Ye Theek Hai ........Juda Na Kare ' (third stanza) he is saying that no one die in love but even though no one should be separated as he know the pain of it. I have translated it here and hope you will like it.  वो दिल ही क्या तिरे मिलने की जो दुआ न करे,  मैं तुझ को भूल के ज़िंदा रहूँ ख़ुदा न करे।  Wo Dil Hi Kya Tere Milne Ki Jo Dua Na Kare, Mein Tujh Ko Bhul Ke Zinda Rahun Khuda Na Kare. That heart is useless which don't pray for meeting with you, God forbid that I live after forgetting you. रहेगा साथ तिरा प्यार ज़िंदगी बन कर, ये और बात मिरी ज़िंदगी वफ़ा न करे।  Rahega Saath Tera Pyaar Zindagi Ban Kar, Ye Aur Baat Meri Zindagi Waf

In that fire in which a candle burns for exhibition, I burn in that fire without any description.
